I'm awake.
I've been awake since 3.
I'm having contractions but I just cant make sense of the pattern. I'm having a LOT of them, but the pattern is something like 7 minutes- 7- 7- 7- 4 - 9 -2- 7- 7- 7-4- etc. Pressure in my crotch is very strong. Back sore. Have had several loose bowel movements since 3 am. At my MW appt on thursday i was 2 cm and 30% effaced.
My only other labor was totally pit-induced, so I know nothing of what real 'natural' contractions feel like as opposed to BH.
This is probably nothing, just because today is a very convenient day to have her be born. Today would work for everyone. I'm just not that lucky.
Dh is about to leave for work because I'm afraid if I keep him here I will stall, and this will end up being nothing, and he will lose a whole days pay.
Wish this baby would send a fax or something to let us know if she's coming!
So, am I in labor or what?
:
*Edit: Grr. Its 10:30, and all activity has ceased, save for the sciatica that has now made my left hip/butt area very unhappy.
I'm never having this baby.

My mother is seriously ill, and most likely in her last days/weeks of her life. Her doctor has told her if I go overdue that she may not live to see her granddaughter be born. I am so devastated, I am Ground Zero. She told me this morning that this baby needs to come now. I'm terrified.
